for a call-back number to use for verification purposes

Be careful when sharing credit card or bank information, or engaging in any monetary transactions. Be sure to verify the legitimacy
of the employer with whom you are interacting

Do not provide any non-work-related personal information (e.g., Social Security Number, eye color, marital status, etc.) over the phone or online

Be cautious when dealing with contacts outside your own country

Be wary of emails that offer an opportunity that involves acting as a go-between for money transfers. Disregard the email and
DO NOT follow through with the employment offer being made
